The most unexpected and fascinating names to appear on the new season of ‘Twin Peaks’

Yesterday, we brought you a list of musicians that we were excited to see on screen in the new season of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, which premieres on Showtime this Sunday (May 21) at 9 p.m..

We thought it only fitting to return back to the same 217-person cast list that we pulled that list from, and find the most unexpected and fascinating names on that list from all other walks of life -- actors, athletes, stuntmen -- and use that as a way to preview how different and unexpected this new season might be.

Unexpected, yes -- just like David Lynch doing the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Thankfully, we’ve realized over the course of the last decade what a national treasure Forster is. He’s had a career spanning several decades, and the fact that he’s still around and making good work (take a look at Small Town Crime whenever that film decides to hit cinemas) is absolutely wonderful. Forster had a part in Lynch’s 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Dr., but we decided to go with a clip from the film that restarted his career after a lengthy decline. Here’s a super memorable moment from Jackie Brown, perhaps the entire reason he’s in this series (we’d have posted a clip from Haskell Welker’s Medium Cool or John Sayles’ Alligator, but we couldn’t find one good enough and short enough).
